You are a thief who has been hired to steal some valuable gems, however you are also one of the worst thieves that ever lived. Every time you steal something, you manage to set off the security alarm, and it this case, the security will kill you. You have one minute to escape the area alive or the job is a bust.
Just as a side note, the exit is randomly placed, so if you found it easy the first time, try it again and see if you can find it in time!
heh, fun game... alarm sound was a bit much, but it was nice to have SOME sound (many games, including mine, don't have any!)... simple story, with basic platforming... only died once, so I did pretty good!
I liked this a lot. Level 2 was actually quite hard! Always died before my minute even ran out. Wasn't sure if there was actually a way to avoid the bullets. Only thing is, there are holes in the story! Why would the thief steal the gems for someone else and not just take it for himself? Hehe. :)
The controls felt really good and the limited field of view was a nice touch. I think it was too easy to get away - I would have enjoyed less enemies and more platforming when escaping, but I still enjoyed playing.
Pretty good game, the sounds are super loud, pretty nice graphics. Very funny story. As others are saying; I am getting TERRIBLE FPS, MAYBE 3FPS. Oh well. Very nice and polished menu Keep it up!
great work on this! i love the idea of having the gem be super easy to get and having the escape be so difficult. great concept and i like the time spent on the little dialog parts to build the story
The fixed resolution made the bottom 10% or so of the screen not show. The alarm sound scared the shit out of me the first time as well. Apart from that it's a pretty cool game.
Not much in the game, the exit seems to be randomized so escaping is mostly about luck. Nothing interesting in the levels it seems like the size was only to make searching for the exit take longer with many long dead ends.
A fine concept, but gameplay, to me, is too simplistic.
Take some pointers from games like N, Mark of The Ninja and Stealth Bastard.
Predictable enemies which are relatively easy to bypass on their own, yet in combination with each other create interesting and challenging dynamic situations.
More interactions with the world (Doors, switches, airducts, traps, keys, robots... You name it) which can be tied to overall objectives (go there, steal that) or to sub-objectives (how do I get past this turret?, how do I open this door?).
A more refined and complex movement system (sliding, crouching, running, wall/roof-climbing, etc.) and/or gadgets (grappling hook [ninja rope], stun/emp. devices, smoke bomb, hacking device. etc.)
And possibly stealth, even if the main character is a master thief only in sarcastic sense.
